Kept under wraps before release, Fallen Order whisks players away to the ice planet of Ilum towards the end of the game, as Cal is forced to build a new lightsaber after his was destroyed in a force vision on Dathomir.

As the game reveals, Ilum is a planet of historic importance to the Jedi Order. Kyber crystals naturally occur in the planet's surface and it's where all Jedi go to find their own. Crystals change colour based on the user, and that allowed Respawn to give players new options when reconstructing their blade.

There are eight options to choose from - which is great in itself - but Clone Wars fans in particular will enjoy Cal's recollections of the temple before and after his pilgrimage. He reveals how he travelled there with Yoda as a young Padawan, echoing another episode from the animated series, called The Gathering.
